Wtf, there is a game on Thursday Sept 5 at 5:30. Broncos vs Ravens and it will be on ESPN. Stop confusing people.
It’s going to be on NBC too!!! Why do you always save the fans guessing NFL?!?!
Agree, a Thursday night game should be listed in the Thursday night package. Instead, it’s in the Sunday night listing.
It’s actually on NBC. This list came from the NFL, and they don’t list the Baltimore-Denver game on their Thursday night football page for some reason. It’s listed on the Sunday night page. We added a notation above.
The game on September 5 is on NBC. Stop confusing people…
Andrew, it’s actually the NFL that is confusing people. The Thursday, Sept. 5 game featuring Baltimore at Denver is actually part of the Sunday Night Football package. It’s also listed on the Sunday Night Football list on the NFL’s official website.
Although that game wasn’t included on the list, we added a note above. Thanks for visiting the site and bringing this to our attention.
Andrew is correct.
If a game is on NFL network is it on any other channel?
Sometimes any of your local tv stations might have a simulcast of the Thursday night game
Yes, this is correct. But it is rare from what I can tell.
